[ptl][election] Sylvain Bauza candidacy for Nova 2024.1 PTL
Hey Nova and Placement folks, Yet again, I'm asking you to put myself on the Nova and Placement PTL seat. I was awaiting to see whether new candidates were wanting to nominate themselves for that seat but now I am convinced to run again for this position. Challenges are still upfront. Our gate is still coughing every single day and despite the excellent work that a very few awesome people did on stabilizing and which helped improving the situation (kudos to those who will recognize themselves), we are still urging to fix the most common patterns. As a PTL, I'll ensure to keep the energy to chase those issues and identify them so as a team we can fight them. Another concern to me is the reviewing pace. While we're continuing to deliver solid reviews on feature proposals and patches, our team isn't much evolving and we need fresh blood. In order to be able to deliver things, we need to ensure that we properly recognize those who dedicate a portion of their daytime to help others by providing valuable feedback (and I stress on the fact that this feedback *has to* be valuable in order to by worthy). As a PTL, I'll continue to encourage people to express their thoughts and concerns into Gerrit comments so that we are able to count on. The last challenge I have to mention here is the release cadence. Now that we are about to deliver 2023.1 (Caracal), it will be time to remember ourselves that 2023.2 (Dalmatian) will be a skippable release for operators and we need to carefully think about the implications of such things. I'll just finish on a last word. While I really appreciated acting as a PTL for the last 5 cycles, I'd be more than happy if someone would like to step up next cycle (E) so I could offer some mentoring for a smooth transition. Thanks, -Sylvain
